Job description

Overview

TextCortex AI is one of Europe's most visited AI platforms, attracting approximately 2 million monthly visitors. Recognised by G2 as a fastest‑growing software product of 2024 and shortlisted by Gartner’s Capterra for generative AI platforms, our client base includes DAX companies, German hidden champions and Fortune 500 companies.

We offer knowledge agents that help company employees find information and answers faster. While manual searches can take several minutes or even hours, our AI agents provide meaningful, well‑referenced answers in 30–60 seconds. Deployments of more than 100 employees have yielded savings of 3–7 workdays per month per user, and a Fortune 500 customer who started with us in 2024 has already tripled their account size.

Key Responsibilities

• Source new leads using all available channels, including LinkedIn and LinkedIn Sales Navigator
• Set up meetings with potential clients
• Close beneficial deals for our customers’ sake
• Become a power‑user of our product to sell with conviction

Requirements / Sales Principles

• Long‑term Relationships: Focus on building lasting partnerships, not just closing a deal
• Value Creation: Care about improving the prospect’s situation, not only new revenue
• Honesty and Transparency: Be upfront about both strengths and limitations
• Education‑Driven Sales: Empower enterprise users to leverage generative AI in their daily work
• Product Expertise: Live and breathe what we sell
• Active Listening: Don’t push products; listen to customers’ needs and honestly try to solve their problems
• Success Measurement: Measure success by customer retention and expansion, not just new sales

Ideal Candidate

• Proven ability to sell and generate interest across multiple channels; software sales is a plus, but experience selling any physical or unique product is also welcomed
• Proven track record beating quotas
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, especially active listening
• Self‑motivated and results‑driven
• Fluent in English and German (additional European languages are a plus)

Benefits and Compensation

We offer a flexible base salary with an uncapped 25% commission on sales above your base. Our SDRs are expected to generate €300,000 in annual revenue. Average annual contract values range from mid‑5‑figures for professional services to 6‑figures for enterprise deployments, requiring 1 to 8 customers per year to meet quota.

Growth Opportunities

Abundant opportunities to specialise in and build up specific industry focuses. You’ll have the chance to become an industry expert and grow your career within TextCortex.
